Being invited to give the Rousseau Lecture is a great honour and I am grateful to Sorin Baiasu for this invitation as well as all the tremendous work that he has done bringing together a range of critics and commentators to engage with the Kant and Nietzsche section of my rather disparate range of work that most directly related to the topic of my Rousseau lecture. In philosophy, respect often takes the form of crafting challenges to the assumptions, claims, arguments, and ends of another’s work – and unsurprisingly I have learnt much from the time, care and attention that the critics and commentators have given to engaging with my writings. Because the main lines of argument and objection that they develop are quite diverse, I will address the challenges they propose one by one rather than in parallel, before trying to reflect more generally in my concluding comments.

Abstract

Being invited to give the Rousseau Lecture is a great honour and I am grateful to Sorin Baiasu for this invitation as well as all the tremendous work that he has done bringing together a range of critics and commentators to engage with the Kant and Nietzsche section of my rather disparate range of work that most directly related to the topic of my Rousseau lecture. In philosophy, respect often takes the form of crafting challenges to the assumptions, claims, arguments, and ends of another’s work – and unsurprisingly I have learnt much from the time, care and attention that the critics and commentators have given to engaging with my writings. Because the main lines of argument and objection that they develop are quite diverse, I will address the challenges they propose one by one rather than in parallel, before trying to reflect more generally in my concluding comments.
